Bill and janet are pulling on opposite sides of a table. bill pulls with a force of
450 n to the left, and janet pulls with a force of 300 n to the right. what is
the net force on the table?
o
a. 450 n to the right
o
b. 450 n to the left
c. 150 n to the left
o
d. 150 n to the right

C. 150 N to the left

Explanation:

If we take right to be positive and left to be negative, then:

∑F = -450 N + 300 N

∑F = -150 N

The net force is 150 N to the left.

(C) 150 N to the left

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting in left side, F = 450 N

Force acting in right side, F' = 300 N

Let left side is taken to be negative while right side is taken to be positive. So,

F = -450 N

F' = +300 N

The net force will act in the direction where the magnitude of force is maximum. Net force is given by :

So, the net force on the table is 150 N and it is acting to the left side. Hence, the correct option is (c).

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

okay i have so many questions. but the big one here is: um wt..f is this mess? ?
